Two of the most popular turbo-props have 2 exhaust stacks, the P & W PT6 and Walter 601.

Well, the Dornier Seastar has 4 and two intakes on its PT6...but then its an inline twin :lol:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

What did you use for the props on that nacelle Robert?

Aeroclub Wyvern props Kit, incidentally, the front end of the air intake duct is actually a Sea Fury cowling, which just happens to be the right diameter and also matched the Attacker Swift rear fuselage quite well.

Well I did use an aircraft fuselage, can you guess which one I used



I guessed Attacker, but then I looked up the serial number...

;D ;D

Ahh, so it was an attacker.  That's what I thought, but WK194 was a RAF serial for a Swift I believe- so that threw me off.  Sea Fury cowl is also quite distinct.  Nice mash up.

Well, you answer threw me off a bit too because now I remember it was a Swift, but an Attacker would work too  -- and a corrected my last post --  ;D
